They have that spyware that logs your keys and screen, so I'm sure if they wanted they'd have a nice shot of your open wallet with your addresses.

Nothing is foolproof and court's are finnaly ruling that a IP address isn't. A individual so if you get in trouble. Your lawyer could use that as precedents even through those rulings have to do with file sharing you could make the. Case that because btc is p2p you should be protected as well

If you just receive then no, but if you send and don't have any anomizer(VPN,Tor, proxies ) etc the. The IP is logged 
Only the IP of the first relaying nodes so it's far from reliable. Still a good idea to setup bitcoin-qt to use Tor (it's build in the options) as a proxy if you're paranoid about staying anonymous.
Install Tor and tick that box and you're ready to go.

Would the best way be to just use a different public key for every new transaction?
